MotherShip Studios, a studio and gallery space in southeast San Marcos, has announced the dates for its 2025 San Marcos Studio Tour.
Launched in 2022, the tour provides an opportunity for the public to visit artists’ studios and for artists to build their network and connect with community. In previous years the tour was a one-weekend event, this year it has expanded to take place across the first two weekends in April.
Artists interested in hosting an event, such as a demonstration, workshop, party, cookout, bike or walking tour, or performance, can submit an application via the MotherShip website. Events must be registered through this application to be listed in the catalog. The event submission deadline has been extended to Tuesday, February 11.
This year, businesses that are interested in participating as a sponsor can also host artists at their location. Sponsorship options range from $150 to $600. Business applications are also due by February 11.
A Kick Off Party for the studio tour will be held at MotherShip Studios (20027 San Marcos Hwy 80) on Friday, April 4, at 7 p.m. The official tour hours are Noon to 6 p.m. on April 5, 6, 12, and 13.
